This YouTube channel is converting a 3,287-hour FAA-certified flight simulator into a gaming PC-based sim rig and it wants your help

As impulse-based purchases go, this one's a doozy. The team behind YouTube channel Angry Zeppelin normally cover RC aircraft builds, but they've picked up an auction find to end all auction finds—a used modular flight deck and professional flight simulator setup built by Precision Flight Controls, a manufacturer of FAA-certified sims.

The plan? To interface its remaining systems with a gaming PC, a few LCD monitors, and the odd tablet to create a flight sim setup to make even the most gear-equipped simulator nerd green with envy.
